"The total amount of the department invest- ment is $1,, which includes team, wagon, engine, mill machinery, and buildings. The pro- fit of the operation to the present time is $ less than the cost of the equipment; but the drying yard contains 70,000 staves unsold, and 150,000 staves are still to be manufactured from this area.
